Breathe in and think of love
Breathe out and think of pain
Listen to the feeling in your heart
Not the voices in your brain
Hark the wind blowing through the trees
Ignore the dirge of modern life
Use your ears to hear the birds
and with them let your worries take flight
Glide upon the pockets of wind
Wherever the breeze shall take you
Make the journey beautiful
Rather than the place you wish to get to
Breathe in and think of the future
Breathe out and forget the past
I know the pain seems never ending
But such dismal days will not last
Hear my whispered words softly
Stirring emotions in your heart
I will offer my hand, my love
As the birds begin to depart
I will show you love and freedom
if you take my hand and stay
There will be no pain or reason
From which you need to run away
Just another one.

Shocks rippled south
realmed a loss and screened a track
stacks strung low and around again
She wanted the feeling of mica between her teeth
like lashes on a chiseled tree
totaled through and ruffled down
up and around again
Court and run south and
sandalwood
wrecked a home, she sat still
her knees knit together
unraveled over and into raw skin, over and into
she bloomed her hair into a Congo
It peeled like rose petals beneath her feet
a sheet strung high and low and around again
She said tell me why, but her fingers curled
around your head, around your neck, slowly
and then her shoulders
loosened
like twine
- "Into A Congo", Nefiret
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

Also!Mwreowr~ ♥
1:32 AM
My hair's having a mini war. On the right hand are the smooth 'pro-pantene' and on the left are the frizzy 'anti-silky'. The middle bit's being just a bit indecisive. Hope it makes up its mind soon. And hopefully also taking the little advice that the pro-pantenes are more inviting.
I've been procrastinating so much recently its scaring me.
Time to buckle up.
Internship's starting and end of year's coming.
Time to shackle on the responsibility.

My heart's racing.
I have no idea what will the outcome be.
Please let my internship application get through.!

Geri's bucket list
Attempting both G-Maxs
Officially off the list. Excellent.
Now to see if I dare do bungee jumping.
Which still stays on the list.
Till I at least muster the guts to get to the place and strap up.
Whether I jump is a totally different matter.
But yes.
I hope that day comes too.
Have to do up a proper bucket list soon.

So here I am in year 1.
So many things have changed ever since I joined Lasalle.
Things have changed, I have changed.
I hope it was for the better.
I was told I seem calmer and happier than 2 years back.
I really hope I am.
I do feel different though.
So many facades I'm seeing all around.
I really hope I'll be able to retain being myself,
and not someone who has to resort to false fronts for things.
And I finally have a DLSR to call my own :)
Canon E550.
It's such a beauty.
And so many freebies.
(A tripod stand, dry box, lens filter, another memory stick and battery)
I'm in love. :)

Hello, whoever may be reading this yet-again-almost-fully-abandoned blog.
I still will not be updating it often, but maybe once in a while. I'd better not frequently do so.
Being nearly kicked out of school is not good.
I've had a taste of true depression, and it's not nice.
I definitely do not want to go back to that again. EVER.
Anyway. I think I'm feeling more comfortable being in class now.
It was quite uncomfortable at first, seeing as almost everyone knew almost everyone,
but now it's improving. No matter how slight it is.
I haven't been going for weekday mass recently. Went yesterday. Didn't see anyone, but it was nice being by myself. I haven't done that in quite some time.
Random subject change, I want to streak my hair. As to what colour, I'm not too sure. But well, whether I'll actually do so is another issue. Maybe. Just maybe. After my repeat year has ended.
Arts management or fashion (design? communication?) ? Erzan has successfully gotten me confused.
I personally think I'd die in arts management, but the job prospects for it are so far the widest. And the quickest.
I'd be able to do almost anything I wanted to after graduating.
I don't know.. I still have to think it through.
I miss Paris/London. And Japan. Especially the good food there. No matter whether it was restaurant/cafe food or hawker food. Still good.
Back to reality.

Why doesn't this have the toolbar anymore? So weird.
Anyway. I've been quarantined till today (FINALLY!)
Though I did go out yesterday with my family; spreading the quarantine love. :)
''No more fever, can go out la.'' - my mum.
Going to start work. Thankfully it's not due till next week.
Ciao~
I want my appetite back. Been feeling weird..

Reviving time once more.
Ahhh. Hello, dear old blog of mine.
How time has flown since I've last written on you.
From recent to not-so-recent things:
Today [edit - now yesterday] :
WE SAW NANA AFTER SOOOO LONG.
It was really nice meeting her again.
Didn't know she'd gotten back so early;
would've thought she'd be back slightly later or something.
But guess since Haru came back..
And went back already -_-
Kpo-ed the KNN meeting for the MIP peoples.
Ended up being slotted with Sam and Marcus for the third session.
Hmmm. We'll see how that one turns out..
Went to Michael's for movie and youtube watching,
together with Ash, Lucas and Rachel.
Twin didn't come along :(
Ended up not knowing which movies to bring,
thus lugging a full bag of dvds along.
Brought nougats too, at mummy's request.
Pizza was pretty good stuff.
And after the pizza on the way to church,
I realised it was friday.
And. We had meat lovers and something-mayo.
Crap XP
AND.
Attire at mass.
Shorts and slippers.
Nearly didn't go, if not for Aaron.
Was so worried it would be Father Gerard celebrating.
But, turned out,
it was some random priest.
SO. I was half saved.
Till I saw mummy.
Don't think she saw me though;
she didn't say anything about it when I just got home.
Lucas was being weird on the way to church -
whilst waiting for the cab mainly.
WE SAW SUZIE!! She still looks the same.
Haha. Should have gone to the school to eat orange bowl.
Argh.
Guess I'll have to wait longer to enjoy the noodles again.
And I realise I'm relaying the day's events BACKWARDS.
Hmmm.
X) heehee.
Other recent events -
RIP Stacie's dad and Looloo's mum.
You both are dearly missed.
Shan't elaborate on the funerals.
Couldn't go to Christy's birthday celebration :/
AND I still haven't gotten her present yet. :/
Aaaah I have to do it soon...
Went to her house though.
To surprise her.
Surprised her parents in the process as well though.
Lol.
Had a good speaking session with her :)
HARU CAME BACK.
AND.
SPOD FINALLY MET UP AGAIN.
Though not as a whole as I would have hoped :/
NEXT TIME.
Helped out Haru's mum at her clinic.
Ohmygosh, it hasn't been so hectic for me at a workplace for a LONG time.
But it was really fun.
We were making her mum eat.
SUSHI AND OYSTER OMELETTE (orhluak)
Her mum was practicing for a singing competition,
and she was DAMN powerful.
Wonder if they won..
Celebrated Kit's birthday before that.
Went to Swensens,
had a umm.. Rather dis-encouraging start,
but ended well I guess.
I'll leave the rest to tomorrow or day after.
For now.
The inspiration to write has run out.
Later~
I leave you with a video that Lucas showed us today.
ciaoo~~

AFTER A REALLY LONG TIME.
Hello blog.
I shall attempt to revive.
School's started again,
open house in a couple days.
Mural project during that time,
then immediately another project after that.
Roar.
Been feeling really hungry recently.
Don't know why.
More than usual.
I still have my cup noodle stash here :)
Once I went back to LASALLE,
I suddenly realised how much I missed that place.
Though there's still the shitload of work to do.
Hope Cday turns out good :D
Conference party this saturday...
Hopefully I can rush down to mass in time after Cday.
& mural painting.
Kit and Grace are coming by! :D
-maybe Byrne too-
Many many things have happened.
I found good friends :)
I really feel blessed.
Thank you, Lord, for them :)
OOH.
Christmas mass and FOC were SUPERSUPERSUPER GOOD.
Haha.
I remember that we went to Byrne's after mass.
Went crazy singing on the way back.
Got to know people better on that walk too.
Eg. Tarcia and Alexandra.
Hahaha :)
I have made a resolution.
I.
Will.
Try.
Not.
To.
Pon.
School.
From now on.
I will make sure this happens.
Realised I'm jumping all over the topics,
but whatever la.
Watched quite a fair bit of movies during the holidays.
Had the most ex cheesecakes in Singapore too.
Camwhored somewhat..
Had 2 of the awesomest camps ever.
I like being food IC :D
It's good.
I get free wine from Uncle Gerard :)
Teehee.
Another month and so.
I'll be legally 18!
Yay! Lol.
Currenly as I'm typing,
I'm here suffering from a crazy stomachache.
Cramps and bad stomachaches
DO NOT GO TOGETHER.
Didn't even make it to school,
and had to stop by church.
Too much pain :/
Roar.
Had to call mummy down to church.
Quote her : 'What are you doing in church?!?!'
What else....
Found a new good drink from Starbucks!
Chocolate Cream chip frap! :D
Hahaha.
Thanks Dra for intro-ing it to me
Haha.
Mmmmm... I guess this is it then..
Here's your update on this stale blog Lex.
Lol.
I had porridge and stew for lunch today!
Had a small bowl of each only though :/
Appetite's avoiding me again..
Bleh..
& You fought the fight in me
12:34 AM
Thursday, December 11, 2008
Many many things happened again over the time span
of when I let my blog turn staler.
First up, tHE conference.
It was..
Indescribable.
Really.
I've got to know so many people,
and so much due to it.
Praise the Lord.
Secondly.
Well.
.. .. ..
Yea.
Things happened, I found out things,
I said things,
yea.
.. .. ..
Thirdly.
Confirmation.
It's hard to take good pictures.
Bleh.
And I still owe people photos I think.
Went to Byrne's after dinner with family,
talked with his mum and played murderer/detective,
got caught on the first try of being murderer,
thanks to Vic hahaha.
Went back with Caspar and Marcus.
Fourthly.
HALMM camp.
Once again I can truthfully say:
I LOVE HALMM TO BITS.
It's not everyday you see almost practically the whole
choir doing a crazy dance together.
Hahahaha.
Next up is KOINONIA/FUEL camp.
Can't wait.
You guys changed my life.
How great is our God,
sing with me how great is our God.

And so the race to see if the record will be broken began.
I'm hungry :/ damnit.
My pillow behind me beckons once again.
Oh well.
I succumbed to it for 5 minutes some time before this already.
Not going to happen again.
3 days to end of assessment!
3 days to start of freedom!
and counting down :D
Lord, grant me strength
7:07 AM
Wednesday, November 05, 2008
So many things have happened over the time,
I don't know where to start.
Anyway, I'm almost definitely screwed for schoolwork,
somehow still trying to get at least a B,
my neighbour's going for a major op for his back,
I'm sick,
got involved in youth conference,
and assessment's in 2 weeks.
Damnit.
Tsk.
But I really can't keep running away from my problems..
Sigh..
I still don't have photoshop and the 80 pics :/
I'll have to keep finding the site to download it.
On a sidenote and somewhat unrelated,
Angela's (3D teacher) real nice :)
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee.
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
